Recipe is too lengthy to post but hit me up and I'll scan and email it.

PS: I'm a Louisiana native. This is the real deal. Been working on this for years.

:headbang:

This is the real deal.

Yep, I see brown rue and okra in there! :P :eat:

Home made roux - yes. Okra - no. I use file' for thickening. Don't like the slime that okra puts in it. Personal preference back home. Probably 50/50. What you see is andouille sausage.

DiveDeep, scan the recipe to your computer as a word document. Then you can copy and paste it into a post on the forum.

Obviously adjust all ingredients for personal taste. This is fairly mild heat wise. Not everyone likes it like I do - sweaty forehead and runny nose. Cayenne or extra hot sauce added when cooked or served will take care of it. Personally recommend "Louisiana" brand hot sauce. Tobasco is too vinegary and to me is a ruin ingredient. Depending on the texture you prefer, you can saute the mirepoix as chopped/diced or, as I prefer, puree in blender. To me, the meat provides all the texture you need.
BE VERY CAREFUL when browning the roux - stir constantly or you'll ruin it before you get started.. When you smell it turning brown add the water and mirepoix (also watch the smoke). This is where the science gives way to art. EXTREME CAUTION as scalding steam will rise when you pour the cup of water in to stop the browning.
Serve over rice with garlic bread and enjoy. Let me know how you like it.

Oh my gosh, brother, I'd like to "divedeep" into a swimming pool of that concoction.

Nothing better than a frothing pot of spicy gumbo.

That recipe is a sweet deal too, thank you for posting! I will add ports, and 3 colors of bell, and will be pitch perfect for my buds.

My pleasure. Forgot one ingredient no true Louisianian would be without--ice chest full of cold beer to hose down the burn.

I cant wait for some one to type that out. I am hungry just looking at that!

Thanks DD, looking forward to giving it a whirl. I cropped and adjusted the photo to make it a little more printer friendly.
Bubba, I know you are new to this computer stuff, but like DD said, right click the picture and then click “Print picture” oke1:
